National Football League free agent rumors: Chiefs agree to terms with WR Sammy Watkins

Grant Smith

But between Sammy Watkins agreeing to join the Kansas City Chiefs along with Tavon Austin expected to be out of the picture, 2018 is shaping up to be the flawless opportunity for Reynolds to step up and shine in the passing game for the Rams.

The Kansas City Chiefs may have the best offense in the National Football League at the start of the 2018 season, at least on paper.

Former Clemson star receiver Sammy Watkins has found a new home.

According to NFL Network, which first reported it Tuesday morning, that the two sides had reached an agreement, the three-year deal is worth $48 million, with $30 million guaranteed.

The wide receiver reeled in just 39 catches for 593 yards past year in Los Angeles, but still managed to be a threat in the red zone with eight touchdowns. Along with a calf strain and ankle sprain that season, he's had hip issues in the past, and missed eight games in 2016 with a fractured left foot. Likewise cornerback Marcus Peters, sent to the Rams earlier via trade as well.

Hitchens also had a couple of pass deflections and nine tackles for a loss, and showed flashes of the same kind of instincts that made Johnson the Chiefs' career tackles leader. During his first season in Kansas City, the Chiefs signed Dwayne Bowe to a big deal, enabling them to use the franchise tag on Branden Albert at the last minute. As Mahomes gets set to take over for Alex Smith, obviously it should help to have plenty of talent around the second-year quarterback.
